Prison

For those who are in prison, a lot of times people just assume that they are bad people with bad intentions.  However, we do not know what has gone on in their past to make them the way they are.  Their pasts do not excuse their actions, but they do give reasons why they might act that way.  Elevation church does a ministry in a prison where they are actively involved in the prison and converting those men to Christianity.  I respect that because not only are they acknowledging these men, but they are making Jesus Christ known to them and giving them the opportunity to become children of God.  I would like to become involved in that ministry and try to do what I can to let them know that God will forgive them no matter what their sins are and that they can one day live in heaven with Him.  The kids whose parents are in jail need just as much love and support as the prisoners, if not more.  Maybe my leadership class can get a group together to help out these kids.  Prison is a serious place but we can bring the love of God into the equation and help these people understand that there is another way.
